3.  A careful  record  should  be  made  of  all  books  received,  using  for 
this  purpose  a “School  Library  Accession  Book.”  This  is  a blank  book  o[ 
500  lines  ruled,  lettered  and  numbered  especially  for  the  library  record 
and  may  be  secured  from  the  Library  Bureau,  Chicago  or  Gaylord  Bros., 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  for  $1. 

Enter  the  books  in  the  accession  book  according  to  the  rules  found  on 
the  front  page  of  that  book.  Do  not  enter  old  books,  in  bad  condition,  or 
books  with  paper  binding.  The  accession  number  is  the  number  of  the  line, 
on  which  the  book  is  entered  in  the  accession  book.  After  a book  has 
been  entered,  write  the  accession  number  after  the  Book  No.  on  the 
stamped  plate,  inside  the  front  cover. 


OPENING  THE  BOOK 

Open  every  book  before  it  is  placed  on  the  shelf.  First,  lay  the 
book  back  downward  on  the  table,  then  press  the  front  cover  down  until 
it  touches  the  table,  then  the  back  cover,  holding  the  leaves  in  one  har.d 
while  you  open  a few  at  the  back  then  at  the  front,  alternately  pressing 
both  down  gently  until  you  reach  the  center  of  the  book.  Never  open  a 
book  quickly  nor  bend  back  the  covers,  as  it  may  break  the  back  and  will 
loosen  the  leaves.  Often  the  pages  of  a book  need  cutting;  if  they  do, 
use  a blunt  paper  knife.  No  book  should  be  given  out  until  the  bill  has 
been  checked,  the  book  stamped,  entered  in  the  accession  book  and 
properly  opened. 

leach  the  children  the  proper  care  of  the  books  while  encouraging 
them  to  read.

3.  A careful  record  should  be  made  of  all  books  received,  using  for 
this  purpose  a “School  Library  Accession  Book.”  This  is  a blank  book  of 
500  lines  ruled,  lettered  and  numbered  especially  for  the  library  record 
and  may  be  secured  from  the  Library  Bureau,  Chicago  or  Gaylord  Bros., 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  for  $1. 

Enter  the  books  in  the  accession  book  according  to  the  rules  found  on 
the  front  page  of  that  book.  Do  not  enter  old  books,  in  bad  condition,  or 
books  with  paper  binding.  The  accession  number  is  the  number  of  the  line, 
on  which  the  book  is  entered  in  the  accession  book.  After  a book  has 
been  entered,  write  the  accession  number  after  the  Book  No.  on  the 
stamped  plate,  inside  the  front  cover. 


OPENING  THE  BOOK 

Open  every  book  before  it  is  placed  on  the  shelf.  First,  lay  the 
book  back  downward  on  the  table,  then  press  the  front  cover  down  until 
it  touches  the  table,  then  the  back  cover,  holding  the  leaves  in  one  hand 
while  you  open  a few  at  the  back  then  at  the  front,  alternately  pressing 
both  down  gently  until  you  reach  the  center  of  the  book.  Never  open  a 
book  quickly  nor  bend  back  the  covers,  as  it  may  break  the  back  and  will 
loosen  the  leaves.  Often  the  pages  of  a book  need  cutting ; if  they  do, 
use  a blunt  paper  knife.  No  book  should  be  given  out  until  the  bill  has 
been  checked,  the  book  stamped,  entered  in  the  accession  book  and 
properly  opened. 

leach  the  children  the  proper  care  of  the  books  while  encouraging 
them  to  read.

3.  A careful  record  should  be  made  of  all  books  received,  using  for 
this  purpose  a “School  Library  Accession  Book.”  This  is  a blank  book  o[ 
500  lines  ruled,  lettered  and  numbered  especially  for  the  library  record 
and  may  be  secured  from  the  Library  Bureau,  Chicago  or  Gaylord  Bros., 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  for  $1. 

Enter  the  books  in  the  accession  book  according  to  the  rules  found  on 
the  front  page  of  that  book.  Do  not  enter  old  books,  in  bad  condition,  or 
books  with  paper  binding.  The  accession  number  is  the  number  of  the  line, 
on  which  the  book  is  entered  in  the  accession  book.  After  a book  has 
been  entered,  write  the  accession  number  after  the  Book  No.  on  the 
stamped  plate,  inside  the  front  cover. 


OPENING  THE  BOOK 

Open  every  book  before  it  is  placed  on  the  shelf.  First,  lay  the 
book  back  downward  on  the  table,  then  press  the  front  cover  down  until 
it  touches  the  table,  then  the  back  cover,  holding  the  leaves  in  one  hand 
while  you  open  a few  at  the  back  then  at  the  front,  alternately  pressing 
both  down  gently  until  you  reach  the  center  of  the  book.  Never  open  a 
book  quickly  nor  bend  back  the  covers,  as  it  may  break  the  back  and  will 
loosen  the  leaves.  Often  the  pages  of  a book  need  cutting;  if  they  do, 
use  a blunt  paper  knife.  No  book  should  be  given  out  until  the  bill  has 
been  checked,  the  book  stamped,  entered  in  the  accession  book  and 
properly  opened. 

leach  the  children  the  proper  care  of  the  books  while  encouraging 
them  to  read.

3.  A careful  record  should  be  made  of  all  books  received,  using  for 
this  purpose  a “School  Library  Accession  Book.”  This  is  a blank  book  of 
500  lines  ruled,  lettered  and  numbered  especially  for  the  library  record 
and  may  be  secured  from  the  Library  Bureau,  Chicago  or  Gaylord  Bros., 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  for  $1. 

Enter  the  books  in  the  accession  book  according  to  the  rules  found  on 
the  front  page  of  that  book.  Do  not  enter  old  books,  in  bad  condition,  or 
books  with  paper  binding.  The  accession  number  is  the  number  of  the  line, 
on  which  the  book  is  entered  in  the  accession  book.  After  a book  has 
been  entered,  write  the  accession  number  after  the  Book  No.  on  the 
stamped  plate,  inside  the  front  cover. 


OPENING  THE  BOOK 

Open  every  book  before  it  is  placed  on  the  shelf.  First,  lay  the 
book  back  downward  on  the  table,  then  press  the  front  cover  down  until 
it  touches  the  table,  then  the  back  cover,  holding  the  leaves  in  one  hard 
while  you  open  a few  at  the  back  then  at  the  front,  alternately  pressing 
both  down  gently  until  you  reach  the  center  of  the  book.  Never  open  a 
book  quickly  nor  bend  back  the  covers,  as  it  may  break  the  back  and  will 
loosen  the  leaves.  Often  the  pages  of  a book  need  cutting;  if  they  do, 
use  a blunt  paper  knife.  No  book  should  be  given  out  until  the  bill  has 
been  checked,  the  book  stamped,  entered  in  the  accession  book  and 
properly  opened. 

leach  the  children  the  proper  care  of  the  books  while  encouraging 
them  to  read.
